Audio off?
This sounds like a new 1. At least, my SA, salesman, mechanic, and audio tech have never heard of it.
Leaving work to go get the 500 mile oil change today, got in the car, and an audio message from On Star came on, something about using it for nav. It played twice, and then my radio died. Not the screen, just the sound.
When I turned the volume up and down, it changed the phone volume, but the phone wasn't on. I disconnected it, still nothing. Turned it off, nothing.
I tried playing with the settings in the DIC, and all I could find was "Audio Off", with no way to turn it back on.
I got to the dealership, and the SA tried everything again, no luck. He tried researching it while the oil was being changed.
After the oil change, their audio tech just happened to walk in, so the SA sent him to take a look at it. As soon as he got in, everything was fine.
Anyone had anything like this happen?

Re:
Yes, I had basically the exact same thing happen to me, and it was an OnStar cut-in that triggered it. I, also, could not remedy at that moment, but restarting the car later that day- all was fine and has been ever since (I let OnStar lapse).

Everyone needs to understand that offstar is now an independent company.

Has anyone found out what causes the audio off on the dash and how to fix it. My audio has stopped working and going thru the dash came across the audio off. Was there a fix? I tried touching the onstar buttons but nothing happens. My radio is blank
